What have you done today?

[Tj 0785]

Changed my rear light that was cracked and got my 4wd finally working today
And yesterday drove from Manchester to badger 5 for a stage 1 remap only to discover it's already been remapped by previous owner

 

[Scullies]

I changed the melted steering rack boot. Easy job with the engine out.
Guess it needs heat shield.

PCV simplified.

 

[Scullies]

I also bought a box from ECS which just arrived.

Refurbed my headlights. Auto glym kit for £20. Well worth it.

These turned up the other day


Bolted on. Just waiting on a set of B5 lines before I can put them through the test!

This didn't happen today as such, but after my huge off at Castle Combe in my beloved S3, I though I had bent 2 of the wheels, such was the force of the impact. But I took the wheels down to my local alloy shop to get the tyres removed last week, and the guy told me the alloys was good, all straight, and totally usable! - Result.

Went straight to my local powdercoaters, and dropped them off.

Got them back yesterday, redone in Metallic Black!

Cut open my siren box to see what was causing my alarm fault, welded up my new clutch pedal ready to fit soon.

 

[Scullies]

Some love for the daily

3.5" lift and some new wheels.

Should like something like this but black wheels.

Spent the day driving a Beetle while the Golf was with Huntingdon VW for an MOT, rear brakes, brake fluid change and air con service. Better than I expected, although it was a 2.0 TDi with 110ps (and a 5 speed manual). Nothing about that engine makes any sense - the 2016 Golf gets 110ps from a 1.6 TDi (with a 6 speed) while also getting 20mpg more, and 150ps from the 2.0 TDi (also a 6 speed). It also had sat nav but no cruise control


On the plus side, the Golf sailed through its 4th MOT at 159108 miles with 0 advisories. The A6 turns up in a few weeks so that's the last MOT I'll need to deal with for at least 3 years.

Emptied the catch can.

Finally found a wing in the same colour to replace my dented one.

Took 6 months to find one local enough to be cost effective. Looks miles better already.

Also freed off the rear calipers again as handbrake was sticking on.

 

[AdzA3AGU]

Using the drip controller above I took a couple of pictures of drips..

<tuffty/>

This is amazing Tuffty!!

 

[AdzA3AGU]

Saturday -Rebuild rear calipers as Seals had Died both sides.

Final oil change after running in new bottom end bearings and new rod.

Sump has **** most of its thread so plenty of thread tape and some Prayer later and shes sealed.
Been looking for a reason to splash out on a baffled one from forge so I guess this is it.

See my main thread for the printout dude - 324 HP and 303 LB/FT. Remember this is a non-ported small port, so I'm well happy with that!

Driveability is awesome. As always, Bill has done ASN proud....

Following on from my wheel refurb, My original BBS badges were looking a bit tired, so I order a set of red ones to break up the black!

 

[IPG]

how much would those weigh in total with tyres?

Don't remember off the top of my head, I did weigh them in the past, the figure is somewhere on the forum. I will redo it when I get the tyres on.

 

[jojo]

Got this through the post today, I was only after the hotside. I'm hoping this is the final piece to my puzzle before I can remap the blasted thing! Very close to torching it!

 

[S3 Hilife]

Fixed my rear screen washer with the repair kit available from audi (thanks to Mike from the parts request) Easy job to do

Part number: 8L0998711

Also found another leak, common leak point where the pipe for the rear washer seperates inside the electrical trunking in the engine bay

I was surprised at how powerful it is when working properly

I need to do this. I found under the car there is some random piping that water is coming out of. I think it's related to washer water

I found one of these .... Stripped one of the last bots I was loosening though. Grrrrr

****** Torx

 

[Nathan Barnes]

Fitted new one of these after it started rumbling and shrieking on the Dyno last week. 15 mins and it is sorted!

Got my new DEPO facelift headlights, finally time to get away from my old worn headlights.

These:


Some cutting in the wing.. not a very fun job..


And after some hours(actually minutes) punching them in place.. they actually fit!
